Really disappointing

It’s almost as if for some of them the “environmental concerns” in their push toward EVs was all performative. You want to make people already skeptical of EVs stay entrenched in ICE vehicles, make it seem like the whole thing only works when the politics of the actors involved are “right”.

"City documents indicate that, of the 21 zero-emission taxi and limousine owners currently receiving fee reductions, nine are Teslas. The total forgone revenue from these Tesla owners is just $4,677 since the program began." This is going to send shockwaves. I guess they seem to have a ton of ICE cars acting as Taxi/Limo services under this program?

They're attacking the owner who is part of a hostile combative government that is actively trying to harm the Canadian economy - maybe Tesla shouldn't have a part time CEO who's playing President?
A CEO who has explicitly supported, partnered, and worked with a politician who has threatened annexation of Canada, and a company that has time and time again backed this CEO. Sorry, not sorry.
$4,600? lol Toronto is really going in the wrong direction with regard to transportation. Fewer bike lanes because “they cause traffic”, fewer EVs, fewer Ubers, no electric scooters allowed, etc. I guess Toronto wants residents to own ICE cars.

Other companies make electric cars

Annexation of Canada? Sounds like a win-win to me. Ohh Canada 🇺🇸 Sorry, not sorry.
Part Time if you consider the tweeting time. Else he’s at 0
Absurd. When the US needs help and looks around the world for friends, don't be surprised when no one shows up. Canada has been there for the USA time and time again for over a hundred years. This is not how you treat allies.
And it will be there for U.S. as the next 51st state. This how you treat allies. Bring them into the fold!
Try and take it. Let's see how well that goes for you.
Stronger and smarter people are working on it. Trust me.
Sounds good brother, hope the inevitable insurgency goes better for you guys than Iraq did.
Oh it won’t happen like that. The keys will be handed over by choice.
Cool story. When you decide to come back to reality, let me know.

Canadians aren't the Taliban, even though we have also been importing and harboring a bunch of known terrorists. We are one of the most complacent populations on earth, there will not be any "insurgency" lol
You can roll over and take it, that's fine. I won't.
So, to hurt Tesla they’re gonna revoke the grant status of the 9 Tesla taxicab owners in Toronto?

*existing Tesla owners already registered in the program will not be affected.*
Nice
So where am I supposed to get my car serviced? It's one thing to impose tariffs on new vehicles, but shuttering Tesla stores hurts those of us who already own the cars.

The Canada government is flawed. You don’t even elect your Prime minister

Tesla Yorkdale isn't a service center from what I can see, it's a showroom. [Find Us | Tesla](https://www.tesla.com/findus/location/store/yorkdale)
Time to sell? Long term cost are going to stack up. Rental during maintenance, long waits for appointments, extra service costs. This is getting ridiculous!
To fill a bucket, you first need a drop.
This isn't about environmental concerns. The first paragraph of the article explains this is directly related to the increasing trade tensions between the US and Canada. They are beginning to remove incentives from Tesla purchases.
At what point does Tesla leadership begin to look at making a change of CEO? My Model 3 is easily the best car I've ever owned and I love the company, but...
[deleted]
LOL
It’s a trade war, what did you expect they would do.
Yep.. I’ve been looking at the Kia EV9 s as my next car.
Figuring he stacked it with his brother, his best friend and other sycophants, is guess never
Could the other cars be Rivians, Vinfasts, Lucids, Hyundais, etc?
[removed]
A lot of that is because of our ignoramus provincial Premiere Doug Ford, who thinks he’s the mayor of Toronto
Could be, was just more curious that there's only 21 total zero emission taxi and limo owners in total, where 9 of them are Teslas. Just a very small amount
Go to a service center? Tesla Yorkdale isn’t a service center, so yes, you are not supposed to take it serviced there
The Board is not at all independent. Quite the opposite - they're *very* dependent on him. That should have been forcefully changed years ago.
Yes, it's not a service centre. There are a few service centre's in TO. I was just saying in general, if they "kick Tesla out" they are not just sticking it to Tesla, but people who bought their cars.
Yes, I know. See other comment.
Right like MOST of us bought pre-batshit
A political move that will end up being a backward policy once again. Sigh...
Bingo!!

Anecdotally I have seen more Vinfast (3) than Rivian (1) and Lucid (1 but it had US plates) in the GTA. Not ruling out it could have been the same Vinfast three times.
Wonder why target the Yorkdale one and not Sherway too?
When the stock price drops a lot and the shareholders call for action. At this point it’s the only thing that could make it happen.
I really was looking forward to getting the new Y but with impending tariffs and how it’s become a political statement, I dunno how it will be possible. I’ve had my 3 for nearly 7 years now and planned to keep it for another 7, but the future of the brand seems in jeopardy. There just isn’t a car that ticks the same boxes that exists out there for me.
Yeah but Rivian are also about $150k! Looking forward to their cheaper models next year.
Yes for sure! EVs are 100% better, but selling a working ICE car to get an EV generally doesn’t make a lot of sense!
Lmao the cat is out of the bag on that one, tesla investors get what they deserve for being moronic sycophants
Target all the US car makers?

City should focus on lowering taxes and fixing pot holes. Enough of the virtue signalling.
Did we vote the imbocels in to really spend their time on this ? 9 vehicles are Tesla. Hahahah man I need to move out of this fucking city.
It's stuff like this is the other reason why normally people need to not have corporate entanglements if you're working in government. Because normal people could be influenced by foreign countries (like Canada here) threatening to or actually canceling deals with your companies over your involvement in government in some way or another. Luckily Elon Musk is a very "go fuck yourself" type of person so this can't really affect his political decisions.
They can call to shut down Tesla Yorkdale but I'm quite sure they can't do anything about it. Unless Canada is truly a place where governments can take away private property.
And the stock price has done very well because of Elon getting into government thus far. So if anything shareholders are quite happy.
Trade wars are a thing handled by national governments. This is a city government. This is purely performative.
Call it what you want, small cuts eventually add up
So they are going to win the trade war by making an incredibly small subset of Canadians pay maybe 800$ at most each? And instead of that 800$ they could buy another American car that is still tariffed? What about this isn't performative lol.
It's not even revoking, they stay in the program
Becoming more and more that way every year. It's for the greater good /s
Completely ridiculous
They could buy Korean, German and Japanese as well right ?
Mostly manufactured in the US so subject to tariffs
~$4000 is not something that will "add up". Even if Canada entirely blocked all Tesla sales to the country. It still would not put a major dent in Tesla's overall vehicle sales. Canada just isn't big enough.
Other car makers aren't being Trumps attack dog, they are all pretty much as opposed to tariffs as anyone else is.
It’s not, a ton of car manufacturers build in Canada and ship down to the states due to NAFTA. Also you forget the GM and Ford themselves build in Canada as well.
In my area there are a few rivian and I’ve seen 3 Lucinda but tons of vinfast, probably because of that crazy 299/m lease they were having
Because it hurts their bottom line.
I have hope for the R3. I have a Y right now and that's about the *absolute* biggest car I want. Even if I had R1S money I just don't want something that massive. But at least a one year old Y should last *plenty* long enough to wait out the R3 release and working through initial problems.
Think I’ll wait a few years and buy a used Lucid
The city's taxes are pretty low anyway
downvote without comment is like "I am emotionally hurt, so I got to downvote this guy"
Higher than they need to be when city government speeds time and effort focused on trying to kick car maker out of a mall because they do not like the owner’s politics. Consumers will decide if they want to support Tesla. At this time not a lot of people are rushing out to buy new Tesla’s.
What kind of marker works best for drawing penises and swasitkas on Teslas?
So, you plan on going with a company which continues to lose close to $4oK (USD) per vehicle sold for the fourteenth year straight? Ever heard of Fisker? EM isn't building the cars, he is just the CEO. SMH
Yes it is.

Canada wants to hurt me? And my wife? Edit: AlarmTurbulent edited his original post. Thread no longer will make sense. He originally said Canada wants to hurt me...lol.

But I am not giving Tesla money. We own a car.
[deleted]
Why do you keep saying "how do you not get that"? I am not paying any subscriptions. Any repairs come from the warranty reserve. Why not just 100% tarrif new car sales?
Just out of curiosity, has the Canadian government shut down private property? And does Tesla own the building or lease it?
what a nasty and lost lady. Yeah, make the average Tesla-owning Torontonian thats trying to make a living, suffer. Last time i checked it’s our money and choice of what vehicle to buy. And bullying Oxford into closing the dealership? Who is he, a dictator? He has no power to make that decision. and It’s totally inappropriate. They should be focusing on the Fent and homeless crisis. Not this!!!
I mean the trucker convoy for one. Also if doesn't matter if they own or lease. Toronto should not be medeling
The trucker convoy was private property?
Yeah their bank accounts were certainly private property. If you can't agree with that in good faith I don't know what to tell you.
Easy there, I just asked a question. You just said Trucker convoy, which is such a broad topic. After doing some reading, it sounds like it was a poorly decided tactic. That said, they didn’t take anything. They temporarily froze accounts to stop the most annoying protest I’ve seen in my life time. As far as I can tell, they were unfrozen, not taken.. Basically the Canadian government put them in time out to stop pissing off a majority of the country.. I’m personally okay with that. Them honking horns and blocking emergency vehicles from entering hospitals wasn’t making me aware of anything more than I already knew, other than losing faith in moron people.
Sounds like communism to me. Canadians are very smart so I guess it will work for them 🤣🤣🤣🤣
During the Trucker protest the Liberal government froze the bank accounts of folks that donated $10 to the cause, the Trudeau ordered the banks to do it and so they did. 90 year old grannies lost the ability to pay bills or buy food cause they sent $10 using GoFundMe.
Imagine sending $10 over GoFundMe and losing your ability to pay a bill or buy food.
Our Prime Minister was elected after saying he respected the ability of Communist China for being able to get things done.
“Thirteen families with children fighting cancer had their chemotherapy appointments either delayed or rescheduled as a direct result of the so-called “Freedom Convoy” protests in Ottawa, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) has confirmed to Global News“ Imagine having your child with cancer unable to get treatment because perfectly healthy Adults feel the need to be disruptive to get their point across instead of you know….. be adults…
Two years of forced lockdowns where many many people lost their jobs and homes and businesses while the lucky ones with cushy jobs “worked” from home. The situation was mismanaged by every level of government and the response was determined to be illegal and unconstitutional by federal judges. Imagine the “leader” of the country failing to have a simple meeting with the group feeling the need to be disruptive to score cheap political points instead of you know ….. be an adult…
Did they ever get their access back?
Months later. Granny lived off the charity of others for about 2 months.
lol, I’m not saying I support it either way, but revoking a business license does not require repossessing private property
Yeah... it has... if they wanted to... for now it's mostly just bluster. They're probably getting rich off short selling Tesla stock. Then when they're done they'll buy Tesla shares and ride it back up again while telling all their constituents to sell when they should buy and buy when they should sell.
